Hi! Well I am back from that crazy long 2 week blog break. So sorry that this blog has been so empty over these past weeks. The first thing I wanted to share with you now that I'm back is our big news!

We are officially homeowners! We got the keys to our house a couple weeks ago. When is move in day you ask? Well we want to do some work on the house before we move in, so it'll probably be a couple months. The house to me wasn't exactly move in ready but I guess it all depends on your preference - Nick said he'd move in right now because he thinks it's fine but I have some other feelings about it ;) We are fortunate we don't have to be out of our current place urgently or anything so we'll take our time to do the work and everything.

We are so blessed to have found a house we simply loved and have a pretty awesome mom who helped us out a bit with the down-payment. House hunting is some grueling, heartbreaking, and crazy business! We ended up getting this house that I posted about back in April.. Yep, the one with the heart key lock, which was my personal favorite feature, haha :) You were all so helpful with your encouragement and advice, thank you! I think we got a great deal.. and it's a great neighborhood too. I guess some posts about house-renovation and progress will be in the works, hopefully soon.

Well, back to regular daily blogging! Hope you all have a wonderfully fabulous & productive week. ps: thank you for all your dear & sweet comments about my grandpa, it really meant so much to me.

congrats, that is such a great feeling to have your very own home. as you start to build a relationship with your home you will find that there will always be something to fix here and there, it is a constant evolution.

Congrats! I bet you're just brimming with all the things you want to do. :) I recommend doing it before you move too, it's sooo much easier to get it painted/carpeted/etc. before you have all your things in the way! :)

Congrats, that's so exciting! Hubby and I were looking for a house, then were forced to leave our rental suddenly and didn't find our perfect place. So now we're in another rental and not a house which is sort of a bummer, but at least now we get to have a puppy! Hopefully we'll find our dream home someday and if not, we'll be content with what God provides. Anyways, have fun fixing up your new place, how great!

YAY!! So happy for you both. Congratulations. And that heart lock key feature would've been my fav too. We once bought a house for the tree out front. Well, that might be a bit dramatic, but I would tell people the tree out front was my favorite. Good trees are hard to come by in the dry desert of NV :)

I only just discovered your blog and I wanted to say how much I admire it. You can tell how much care and thought goes into it--it's truly lovely. Congratulations on your new home! The happy faces on you and your husband say so much! :)

Congrats! Having signed all of that paperwork will make your life so much better. I still remember being sick to my stomach last year in the weeks before finally closing the deal - but in hindsight it was totally worth the trouble =)
